PoE2 .build converter and import helper
Check a build file before it breaks your import.
Paste or upload a `.build` file and get a quick browser-side readout: parse status, top-level keys, file warnings, and import paths for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
A PoE2 `.build` file is a portable build configuration file used to share or import planner data. BuildFileConverter helps you check the file structure before importing it.

Where to put a PoE2 .build file
Exact paths may change with patches or launcher installs. Use these as starting points, then verify against your local game folder.
Windows path
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2\Builds
- Close the game or leave the planner screen.
- Place the `.build` file in the builds folder.
- Reopen the planner/import screen and select the file.
Templates
Start with a tiny sample build file.
Use the sample to test the checker and your import workflow. It is a neutral placeholder, not a recommended character build.

}FAQ
Plain answers before you ship a file.
Is this an official Path of Exile 2 tool?
No. BuildFileConverter is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the game publisher.
Does the site upload my build file?
No. The MVP runs in your browser. It reads the file locally and does not send file content to a server.
Can it calculate DPS or validate every skill?
Not in v1. The current tool checks file structure and import readiness. Full game simulation is intentionally out of scope.
